Starview PVR Cable 5000 - HELP!

I just got a starview pvr 5000 and am trying to setup for mmds ntl in Ireland. I've tried the autoscan from the start but continually get 0 programs found and the same is true when I do a manual scan with the mmds frequency codes.

It states that it is running version 1.134 from 18/01/2007. Do I need to upgrade any firmware or software? I read through a number of the threads but am more confused than ever.

A lot of the little codes such as press i + 2004 or menu 1570 have no effect and I can't seem to get to the right places to enter codes etc.
